The surprises for me were the lack of surprises. I was pretty sure people would vote for a new Country Duo in Sugarland rather than reverting to the ‘ole faithful’ of Rascal Flatts…but I was wrong. I also predicted Taylor Swift wouldnt win EVERY award she was nominated for, giving up Adult contemporary to Daughtry…but I was wrong there too. Some of my ‘pure guesses based on gut feeling or coolest sounding names” did not pan out, but overall…I’m proud of my score…I must say my power for predicting reality shows is much stonger and accurate.

The show was great last night, I almost forgot it was an Awards show, it really played out more as the showcase for popular music of 2009 (minus the appearance of some peculiars: A-Rod, Seth Green, Christian Slater, Nicole Kidman…that creepy lizard/alien from V…)

I love that neither of the two acts who won ALL of the awards were present to accept…between MJ and Taylor…hope the AMA’s didnt feel snubbed.
